In the event that Buyer accepts Seller’s Election Notice, Buyer and Sellers shall proceed to close and Sellers shall address all Permitted Objections in the manner described in Seller’s Election Notice.

Upon delivery of any Termination Notice hereunder, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer and thereafter neither party shall incur any further liability hereunder, provided, however, that Buyer and Sellers agree that they shall continue to be bound by those provisions of this Agreement which expressly provide that they shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Buyer and Sellers acknowledge and agree that Buyer shall have the right, from time to time, to deliver supplemental Objection Notices with respect to Permitted Objections so long as such supplemental Objection Notices are delivered within the time periods applicable to the delivery of an Objection Notice.
If Sellers shall not deliver to Buyer all of the Commitments and or Buyer has failed to obtain all of the Surveys at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Review Period after the exercise of good faith efforts to do so, either Buyer or Sellers may elect, by delivery of written notice to the other party prior to the expiration of the Review Period, to provide for an additional period of thirty (30) days for the purpose of permitting additional time to obtain and review the Commitments and Surveys (the "Title and Survey Extension"); provided, however, that so long as Commitments and Surveys for at least 70% of the Properties are delivered during the Review Period, the Title and Survey Extension shall expire on the earlier of (i) the date ten (10) days following the date of delivery to Buyer of the last of the Commitments and Surveys which remain outstanding as of the expiration of the Review Period, or (ii) thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Review Period. If the Commitments and Surveys shall not be delivered to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Title and Survey Extension, or Buyer shall have identified Unacceptable Title objections to the Commitments or Surveys, Buyer shall have the right to deliver an appropriate Objection Notice or Termination Notice as provided above, on account of Unacceptable Title, and Sellers’ shall be permitted to respond as provided herein; provided, however, that Buyer shall not have the right to a Title and Survey Extension, nor shall Buyer have the right to terminate this Agreement on account of failure of Buyer to obtain the applicable Survey, if the Title Company agrees in a written notice to Buyer at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Review Period to delete all general survey exceptions in reliance on the applicable Sellers’ Survey together with an affidavit or other assurances provided by Sellers without any additional premium charge to Buyer, and Sellers agree to provide such assurances.
If Buyer and Sellers are not able to satisfy the Assumption Conditions prior to the expiration of the Review Period after the exercise of good faith efforts to do so, either Buyer or Sellers may elect, by delivery of written notice to the other party prior to the expiration of the Review Period, to provide for an additional period of forty-five (45) days for the purpose of permitting additional time to satisfy the Assumption Conditions (the "Assumption Conditions Extension"). If the Assumption Conditions shall not be satisfied prior to the expiration of the Assumption Conditions Extension after the exercise of good faith efforts to do so, and Sellers shall not have provided written notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Assumption Conditions Extension of Sellers’ agreement at Sellers’ sole cost and expense to prepay the REMIC Loan and/or defease the CapMark Loan at Closing in accordance with the applicable terms of the Mortgage Documents, this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to the Buyer, and thereafter neither party shall incur any further liability or obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that Buyer and Sellers agree that they shall continue to be bound by those provisions of this Agreement which expressly provide that they shall survive any termination of this Agreement; and provided, further, the Assumption Conditions Extension shall in any event be deemed to expire on the date on which the Assumption Conditions are satisfied.

(G) The discovery of any other information, documentation, item or condition (or series or combination thereof) which represents an agreement, commitment or obligation with respect to the Existing Leases, the Ground Leases, the Existing Contracts, or the REAs and which (1) is extraordinary in nature and would not be customary and reasonably anticipated by a sophisticated purchaser of shopping centers, (2) was not known to or anticipated by Buyer prior to the Effective Date, or disclosed in offering materials provided by Credit Suisse First Boston with respect to the Properties, and (3) is reasonably likely to result in a decrease in the value of the affected Properties by more than $3,000,000 in the aggregate.

Buyer and Sellers agree that in the event of Sellers’ default, Buyer’s damages would be difficult to ascertain and $5,000,000 represents a reasonable estimate of such damages under the circumstances.

(b) The VF Properties shall be retained by REMIC, and the definitions of "Properties", "REMIC Properties", "REMIC Fee Properties", "Ground Lease Properties" and other relevant terms shall be deemed amended accordingly.
(c) Sellers shall be relieved from any and all obligations with respect to the delivery of Tenant Estoppels, Ground Lessor Estoppels and Declarant Estoppels, and all other instruments, documents and other information, relating solely to the VF Properties.
(d) Buyer shall assume and be liable for the payment of the entire amount of the REMIC Loan and shall assume responsibility for the performance of the obligations under the Mortgage Documents related to the REMIC Loan from and after the Closing Date as to Properties conveyed to Buyer hereunder. REMIC shall remain responsible for the performance of the obligations under the Mortgage Documents related to the REMIC Loan as to each of the VF Properties (other than payment of principal and interest), and Buyer shall promptly upon demand remit to REMIC any amounts paid on account of principal and interest and other amounts due under the REMIC Loan from the VF Properties as a result of amounts withdrawn from "lockbox" accounts by the holder or servicer of the REMIC Loan in accordance with the terms of the applicable Mortgage Documents; provided, however, that REMIC agrees not to voluntarily pay any amounts on account of the REMIC Loan in excess of amounts drawn from the "lockbox" account without the consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. At Closing, (i) Buyer and REMIC shall each execute and deliver a performance and indemnity agreement including cross-indemnification of each party with respect to the performance of each of their respective obligations with respect to the REMIC Loan and the applicable Mortgage Documents and (ii) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate total of the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with its due diligence investigations of the VF Properties.
(e) Buyer shall irrevocably agree to the payment and satisfaction of all outstanding amounts due on account of the REMIC Loan on December 2, 2001.
(f) The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive Closing.
16. Form of Transaction.
The parties acknowledge that this transaction is structured as a sale of individual properties. However, provided that such action shall be acceptable to the holders of the Assumable Debt, and such action shall in no manner materially delay or interfere with the Closing, Buyer may, by delivery of written notice to Sellers at any time prior to the expiration of the Review Period, elect to acquire all of the beneficial ownership interests in REMIC, KPT Mortgage and/or Smithfield, in which event Buyer and Sellers agree within five (5) Business Days following such election to enter into an amendment to this Agreement setting forth such modifications as are reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to effect a portion of the transactions contemplated hereby as the purchase of one or more entities in addition to the direct purchase of the remaining Properties.
17. Board of Director Approval.
Each party hereby agrees to seek the approval of the Board of Directors (or that of its general partner, managing member, or general partner of its managing member, as appropriate) and/or take such other corporate actions and obtain such other corporate approvals as may be necessary or appropriate in order to authorize this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and to provide written or telephonic notice of such approval or failure to obtain such approval to the other party prior to 5:00 p.m. EDST on July 16, 2001. Any party who fails to obtain notice of approval of this Agreement by the other party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to the other party, and if such approval is not obtained and notice of such approval provided on or before 5:00 p.m. EDST on July 17, 2001, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated, in which event the Title Company shall promptly disburse the Deposit to Buyer, and thereafter neither party shall incur any further liability or obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that Buyer and Sellers agree that they shall continue to be bound by those provisions of this Agreement which expressly provide that they shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
18. Termination by Konover.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, should Sellers at any time prior to the expiration of the Review Period (or, if applicable, the Title and Survey Extension, the Assumption Conditions Extension or the VF Properties Extension) determine that it is necessary or appropriate to terminate this Agreement, Sellers in their sole and absolute discretion may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Review Period (or, if applicable, the Title and Survey Extension, the Assumption Conditions Extension or the VF Properties Extension), together with a wire transfer of good federal funds to Buyer in the amount of $5,000,000 to an account designated by Buyer on account of such termination, and the Title Company shall promptly disburse the Deposit to Buyer, in which event this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and thereafter neither party shall incur any further liability or obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that Buyer and Sellers agree that they shall continue to be bound by those provisions of this Agreement which expressly provide that they shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
19. Joint and Several Liability.
Each of the Sellers shall be jointly and severally liable for all claims, liabilities, agreements and obligations hereunder.
20. Acquisition.
If all or substantially all of the assets or stock or interests of Konover or KPT shall be acquired by another person or entity, or if Konover or KPT shall be merged with or into another entity prior to the Closing, the acquiring entity, as a condition to such transaction, must agree to recognize and acknowledge that Sellers shall continue to be bound under all the provisions of this Agreement.
